unconscious brain training

There is someone testing a neuro-biofeedback machine thing on apprentices, in the future it will be a service offered at the Tree. And I got to try it today! Basically you lay on a waterbed while your brainwaves get measured, and listen to music. The music has tracks and it "skips" sometimes. It trains your brains to gradually not mind the skips and be more peaceful overall. He likened it to training, or yoga, the more you do it, the better you get. In this case, you learn to not let the skips bother you (without consciously trying) and then life's interruptions won't bother you as much. I fell into a light sleep, kind of lucid dreaming. I ignored the music, didn't even hear it. And I also (without trying) replaced the song with another song. Cat Steven's "Wild World". 

It was nice, it would be nice to do it more. It really reminded me of when the wind was blowing so hard yesterday and I would my best not to be disturbed by it. Or growing up with three younger siblings around and being calm in the midst of it. He said most people at the Tree are pretty calm, so no one's brain waves get too crazy. But of course we all can benefit from it.
